Unknown / Forgotten Tokusatsu Movies

[DaiShuryou]

I would like to use this Thread, to discuss about Unknown Toku-Movies.
Especially in the 70's were many movies outside of Japan made, which are very unknown today.
The first one i Would like to introduce to you is:

KRIEG DER INFRAS (War of the Infras)

30 years before Toei produced their Kamen Rider Remake "Kamen Rider The First", the Chinese produced their own Remake. The Chinese changed some things, like that Shocker is no longer a Nazi-Organisation and their name is "Brotherhood of Satan" now.
Like Power Rangers they used some fight scenes from the original Kamen Rider movies, but some fights like the entire final fight were make in China.
The movie was called "Super Rider versus the Devil" and is really unknown today. The only country were the movie is really well known until today is Germany. The movie even have two DVD releases in Germany, one of them even have english subtitles.
Every Kamen Rider fan should check the Chinese Remake out, because it is really fun.
I have uploaded the entire movie in two parts. The spoken language is German and the Subtitles are in English. Have fun guys :

Mirai Ninja. It was released stateside by Streamline Pics for a short time as "Cyber Ninja". Great movie by Keita Amemiya (Zeiram, Hakaider, Garo). It was kinda like the Japanese equivalent to Star Wars. A Sci-Fi Fantasy set in Edo Jidai/periodic Japan.

Mirai Ninja.

Of course, I remember that movie since Changeman's Shouhei Yamamoto played the villain. :laugh:

Speaking of Amemiya, he designed the "hero" of this one movie I don't see much mention of, The Skull Soldier. Written, directed by and starring Masaki Kyomoto, it co-starred Kenji Ushio and a hideously scene-chewing Hirotaro "Kagami's dad" Honda and...was a pretty damn awful movie. It has a dark and violent tone (for which I'm sure it would now be praised on that alone) but I think it's only noteworthy because of Kyomoto's devotion to tokusatsu. He tried to deliver a hero flick for older audiences, but misfired with a half-baked story.

Well the ones off hand I can think of.

Onna Battle Cop
Only a handful of people I know have ever seen this flick and I've never been able to track it down.

Ironically I did manage to see Skull Soldier when I was 13 :sweat:

That One Unauthorized Chinese Kamen Rider Film
Heard about this one a long time ago but what I remember, Riderman was a girl and they all used martial arts to fight off a new set of villains.

Henshin Ninja Arashi
Nah just kidding, this one never got made but had the Super Hero Fair made it into 1996, this would have been Keita Amemiya's next entry (which blows considering the awesome job that was done on Mirai Ninja). The only thing to survive from the film was a model/garage kit based off of Amemiya's designs.

And those are all of the ones I can think of.

@Kimiden
That chinese Kamen Rider Movie is the Sequel to "Krieg der Infras" and in Germany it's called "Frankenstein's Kung-Fu Monster". I own the movie on vhs and ripped it several months ago on a dvd. I could upload it to, but I don't have englisch Subtitles for it, but if there is enough interest for this movie, I could try to translate it in english.
